I don't think it will happen, but if it does that sure would make for an even more imposing secondary. That would be funny if we moved Brandon Browner to Hill's position, essentially a fast lengthy LB to cover the TE and RB coming out of the backfield for a pass lol.

In what world would anyone trade the only DB in the league who could be argued is better than Sherman (not saying he is), who is worth a fortune, for our backup QB?

If Revis WERE to be traded, the haul would be enormous, probably exceeding those for previous top flight DBs, and he would require MUCH more than a journeyman QB who has flashed ample potential but has yet to demonstrate the ability to start consistently. I wouldn't be willing to pay the inevitable price.

You really dont think Revis would start on our team? Is that really what you're implying?

Revis injured last year, Revis makes more then our whole secondary combined, Revis cost us a back up, a draft pick and a lot of salary. Drop off from Browner to Revis isn't that steep for what we do as press and physical I think Sherm and Browner better. Also Maxwell and Lane are complimetary replacements if needed. Schnieder has shown he and Pete can find All Pro DB's in the draft, FA without paying them prima donna wages.

I'm against it.....Unless its the single free agency option available.Lets spend our money on the most important position on defense.....pass rushers.....much better idea!

6 million is a bargain for somebody like Revis. We could afford to do both.

You know what....for a one year rent a player on a Superbowl run it wouldn't be the worst idea.I wouldn't be mad at all. Still think resigning jam, signing Melton, and also one of the better pass rushers.

If this trade actually did happen somehow, and John Schneider wasn't the unanimous executive of the year in 2013, it would only be because the press thinks Seattle is in Russia somewhere and therefore ineligible for postseason awards.

Yes, but if its a luxary we can afford and we want to maximize our Superbowl chances...why not??Also, the salary cap impact would be revis contract minus Flynn's.

Furthermore, if the move doesn't pay off we can let him walk and gain the salary cap relief at that time.Revis being in a contact year means good things for his projected performance.

I've changed my mind.....what could Flynn be traded for that improves our Superbowl chances more than revis would?

Why not, he got a DWI, so what, makes his value a bit less and the trade more balanced and it's with a team that could use Flynn and a top DT, your not going to find a lot of match ups for this trade. This is one that is feasable and meets needs and the Cowboys are deep on the D line.

Because revis would be more impactful than the 31 year old Ratliff whose production is on the decline. The dwi isn't the breaker, but it doesn't help.

Not that I wouldn't trade Flynn for Ratliff, but revis is a better deal and we would still have enough to land the top St in free agency. I'd much prefer Melton over Ratliff. Add revis and a solid draft and wow.

Were looking at trades we have DB's if we can get Ratliff at Salary: 4.875 million USD (2012)

or so we already have the best secondary, we draft kids and have a good DT that can pressure inside while they get NFL ready. Revis is a one year deal.

Ratliff’s sack totals the last five seasons: 7.5, 6.0, 3.5, 2.0, 0.

Ratliff’s salaries due the next five seasons: $5 million, $5.5 million, $7 million, $7.5 million and $10 million.

He's improved every year and while a long term deal is in place we may be able to re negotiate that and get shorter contract or something also.

Why not get DRC who is a FA and will be had for a LOT less after being misused in philly for 2 years. He's 6'2", had decent ball skills and is a MUCH better fit for a press man system that we run compared to the zone heavy scheme philly had been running. He is also what, 26 years old.

Revis at 6 million? Guaranteed holdout. How many times has Revis threatened/actually held out of camp? Whoever gets him is going to break the bank on a contract extension, and if you think that is us with all the deals looming for 2014 you are nuts.
